Comment on Ask HN: The ranking algorithm in 'the social network'parent

Comments

Nitpick: it's "Elo" because it's a man's last name, not an acronym.

Also, the Colley matrix homepage has this odd bit of text:

Please note: This method is copyright.

That's not how you protect algorithms.

Ah, yes, my mistake. And I wonder how that copyright works... it seems as though these guys: http://digital.ipcprintservices.com/publication/?i=34502&... used the method for their project, although I don't think they made any money off of it. That article also describes Colley's matrix very well.
